[bug] new attachment does not become child item despite fetching its parent item metadata

Expected behaviour:
1. When i drag a pdf into zotero (I know, this is not the recommended behaviour)
2. This triggers zotero to fetch metadata
3. And when metadata successfully fetched -> make a parent item
4. Zotero puts the newly added file as child of this parent item.

Problem: 4 no longer takes place, while 1-3 work as expected!

What now happens is the new attachment is renamed according to the newly fetched metadata *but remains separate to the parent item*, in spite of the new parent item.

8.0.2. Mac.



  • Restart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins. If that fixes it, you'll need to identify the plugin that's causing it and then report the problem to the plugin's developer.

    thanks @dstillman - can confirm that issue is not zotero's! now narrowing down on which plugin!

    Edit: Seems to be Linter. Reporting to the dev!
